let his team get down, despite the circumstances. whether it was the referees, whether it was bad execution, whether it was robert griffin making outstanding plays. it's not going to happen, and i love that because it's a "refuse to lose" mentality. >> chris: he said on the plane ride last week, don't let anybody tell you it's okay. we didn't win the game. that's what this is about. second half, zuerlein drops it in there and the 15 yard line. niles paul picks it up. and the redskins at the 15. tim ryan, chris myers. we hope you're enjoying the game. we certainly are. i think that was your question regarding robert griffin iii. what does he do for an encore. >> tim: i think he's everything he's advertised to be. i talked with him about keeping it in the pocket. throwing from the pocket.

he's been brilliant out of the pocket. 8 for 11. he's also rushed five times for 30 yards a pop. so he's impressive, and he will give these guys problems here in the second half. >> chris: and he's maintained his cool when the hot heads were loose. albert morris, first down. and robert quinn running him back. let's check in on the field with jaime maggio. >> jaime: thanks, chris. you were talk about about their offense in new orleans last week. i asked jeff fisher. how are you going to contain them in the first half. he said, don't forget. we gave them the first seven points. all we have to do is eliminate plays and force them down. back to you, guys. >> chris: thank you, jaime. there's a flag. >> referee: false start, offense number 78.

five-yard penalty. replay, second half. >> chris: a call on cory lick ten steiger. that's the rams. >> tim: look at the time of possession advantage for the st. louis rams, almost doubling up the washington redskins. washington, 24 plays in the first half. really unable to get their running game into a rhythm. as much as we love robert griffin iii, all the excitement he's going to bring as a dynamic play maker, this team will always rely heavily on the run game. they will not be able to get it cranked up with the time they've had. >> chris: we're smack to the tight end fred davis. it will be third down. >> tim: i can't imagine that was supposed to happen, especially by the reaction of robert griffin after he called, "fred, get it". there's 83. you'll see him call

the line of motion. he doesn't know whether to stop or keep going. that looks like a mental error on the part of fred davis. he's lucky he was able to throw out there. >> chris: on third and 11. robert griffin iii completes to niles paul. it will be fourth down. >> tim: really the feisty tackler that cortland finnegan has. you know what, chris? that's where he's going to bring something to the table and selling to the rest of the defense and really the entire st. louis rams. i just was talking about jeff fisher's "refuse to lose" mentality. fisher's got those same traits. >> chris: it's punted. and amendola with a spread across the 36 yard line. he has tied his career high with 12 catches

in his game. 133 yards receiving for danny amendola. but jeff fisher and the underdog rams are battling back. cer 1 ] s business travel challenge: redeeming a reward flight. the other airlines versus southwest.

so that time they slanted the front which means they took quinn from his defensive end position and crashed him down on the side which kind of crushed that and allowed the linebackers to slide over and make the tackle. >> chris: son of williams, the coach suspended indefinitely. rg3 straight ahead, touchdown, his second running touchdown of the day. >> tim: boy, i don't know if i would ever show a split pick look which means two wide defensive tackles and giving up the field to robert griffin. look. outside shade of the guard, outside shade of the guard. look at the natural running lane for robert griffin iii. that's too easy. that's too easy for a guy like that that close to the goal

line. >> chris: you talk about how smart he is, even for a rookie. recognizing the opportunity and taking advantage. he's run for two and thrown for one. an eight-play, 80-yard try and that's how robert griffin iii responds to a rams score.

>> chris: robert griffin iii has run for two touchdowns today. he threw for 130. suffered a first interception as an nfl quarterback but calmly has put the redskins back in the lead here in this third quarter in st. louis. >> tim: he's so dynamic and talented, those defensive players, you've got to play them different than other quarterbacks. if you get down near the goal line, you'd better make sure you have the gaps covered. and you've got athletic skill. >> chris: billy cundiff makes sure he can't return. >> tim: here's what i'm talking about. they are beat by a lineman. there's nobody in the middle. that's a huge hole for james laurinaitis to fill against any athlete like robert

griffin. he looked left. he knew he was running the whole time, chris, when he saw the defensive tackles split out on the guard with nobody covering up the center or the offensive line. >> chris: meanwhile sam bradford has said as laurinaitis going over the play, sam bradford said after last week there was a different spark about this football team when they struggled in the second and third quarter in detroit. they responded in the fourth quarter and they're going to have to do that late in the third here as they don't respond well. here comes a flag as he goes down in the arms of bowen and rob jackson. >> tim: they're also going to get holding, i think, on wayne hunter over here. >> referee: holding, offense 72, declined, second half. >> chris: wayne hunter and declined because of the sack. it will be second and long for bradford. >> tim: there's wayne hunter here. on rob jackson. he's got his arm

across his chest plate which means the front of his shoulder pads are restricting him from getting to the quarterback and still no steven jackson. >> chris: he's okay. the ram bench saying physically he's okay but he has not been in the game since the unsportsman leek call that pushed themack away from the goal line. the pass is complete. it will be third down. washington, by the way, two sacks today, compared to seven last year in this game when they got to bradford. >> tim: what kind of message is jeff fisher sending the rest of his team when he sets down the best member on the team for a discipline issue? >> chris: we pointed out they're the youngest team. the average age 25. steven jackson, never been on a winning team. that call is for flag protection to the left. bradford has time, throws, and completes.
